delete uploaded file

March 7, 20233 Views

I have a function wp_handle_upload() for uploads files.

$file = $_FILES['attachment_icon-' . $i];
$upload = wp_handle_upload($file, array('test_form' => false));

what is a function for delete a uploaded file?

Use wp_delete_attachment( $post_id ) if you have used wp_insert_attachment() before.
$post_id is the attachment ID.

If you havenât used wp_insert_attachment() a simple â¦
```
unlink( $upload['file'] );
```
â¦ will do it.

there is no designated WP function, simply because you already have a PHP one, with the following syntax:
```
    <?php
    $filename="MyFile.txt"
    unlink($filename);
    ?>
```
for full doc see the PHP manual:
